Australia’s Prime Minister, Scott Morrison has apologised for the nations slow vaccine rollout
The PM acknowledged that the country has fallen behind with vaccination targets, but says “we are hitting these marks now.”
Mr. Morrison has called for Australians to come forward to get their vaccines if they are eligible.
Scott Morrison has touted a “historic record” of coronavirus vaccines, revealing 184,000 vaccines were administered yesterday.
“I take responsibility for the vaccination program”
The PM stated that the vaccine has been available to over 70s for quite some time, and says the nation “needs to work together” in order to pick up the speed of the rollout.
Pharmacy vaccine program will boost rollout
The PM is hopeful that enabling pharmacies to administer vaccines will speed up the troubled rollout.
He said the double-dose vaccination rates have almost tripled in the past month.
36 percent of Australians over 15 have received their first dose.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
